I am trying to overlay a Price Study with the Main Price Graph. For clarity, the Main Price Graph is XAUUSD and the Study to Overlay is GLD ETF (GLD-NQTV). Ultimately what I would like to have is the RHS Vertical Axis Display the XAUUSD Price and the LHS Vertical Axis to Display the GLD-NQTV Price all on the Main Price Region (Region 1). I have activated the LHS Vertical Axis and have used the 'Overlay (Bar)' Study to import/overlay the GLD-NQTV Instrument. Both Instruments now are on the one chart however, the LHS and RHS Axis display the Main Price (XAUUSD) and the GLD-NQTV Price is just the 'Last' price on the RHS Vertical Axis. Is there a way to Display the Price Range for the GLD-NQTV Instrument Price on the LHS Vertical Axis and the XAUUSD Instrument Price on the RHS Vertical Axis? Then whenever I utilise the Crosshairs I would see the GLD-NQTV Vertical Price on the LHS and the XAUUSD Price on the RHS? |

To start with, use the "Add Additional Symbol" study to the XAUUSD chart to add the GLD-NQTV data. This is a better option than using the overlay. Refer to the following: Add Additional Symbol Next, to have the GLD-NQTV chart controlled by the left side scale, refer to the following: Chart Settings: Use Left Side Scale (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale menu) Note that you need to have the study Scale set to not be "Automatic" (Independent is the best option) and enable the option for "Use in Left Side Scale".

Thanks John, that is great. One additional question on this. is there a way to lock both LHS and RHS Vertical Scales? So if I scroll on the RHS Scale, the LHS Scale moves the same amount? If not, is there a way to set the price to be a certain percentage from the top/bottom of the screen? (Just to keep them both away from the top of the screen). |

There is not a way to lock the scales together. As to the space at the top/bottom, there is a scale setting for "Padding Percentage" that defines where the bars will be relative to the top and bottom. But, you can always move the chart so that value will not be consistent. But it may help you to reset. Refer to the following: Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Scale Padding Percentage (Scale Settings) If you are asking how to keep the price specifically in view, then there is not a scale setting to force it to a particular percentage of the top/bottom, apart from the Padding Percentage we mentioned above. The "Automatic" scaling will always try to keep it in view. And there are Constant Range options that may do what you want.
